    When should I weigh them?

    I weigh the day before feeding day. They have usually pooped by then and as empty as they will be.

    Re: When should I weigh them?

    All of mine get weighed weekly a few hours before I feed. When they poop, they also get weighed. I'm pretty anal about getting accurate weights on my snakes.

    That said, my big breeding females don't get weighed that often because I don't like to transfer them too much when they are building. They get weighed maybe once a month.
